Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation ,prominently called as CPR, is an emergency procedure which is performed in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person in cardiac arrest.

About Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation :

Despite major advances in medical science,Sudden
CardiacArrest particularly Out-of
Hospital Cardiac Arrest leading to death remains an important public
health problem.

Despite the fact that more than 50 years have passed by since modernCPR is introduced,the survival rate from
Out-Of Hospital Cardiac Arrest remains 6 %.With an aim to improve
the chance of survival from Out-Of HospitalCardiac
Arrest, the American Heart Association has been providing periodic updates and guidelines for CPR and various organisations throughout the
world have been replicating the guidelines issued in providing training to lay public in
CPR.

Training @ warangal by Dr.Srinivas Ramaka:

Though instances of Sudden Cardiac Arrest are not uncommon
in India,awareness on suchunfortunate events and knowledge on CPR is less among
theIndian public.

As per a study by theWorld Heart Federation,not even 1 % of the Indian population
has proper knowledge on CPR.With this background,Srinivasa Heart Foundation has
initiated theimportant public health
project of training lay public in CPRin the year 2009.

After the introduction of the new guidelines on CPR in
2010,which marked the 50th anniversary ofCPR, a systematic training program in CPR for lay public was initiated
in "Warangal".
